Table 4 shows Pottawatomie County’s employment numbers provided by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, from 1990-2009. (Also see Figure 2.) Employment in the
county has increased slightly from 29,237 in 2000 to 31,876 in 2009. The county had its
highest unemployment rate in 1991 at 7%. Its lowest rate was 3.2% in 2000. The
unemployment rate in Pottawatomie County decreased from 2003 until 2008, from 5.9%
to 3.8% in 2008, but it sharply rose to 6.3% in 2009. As one can see in figure 3,
Pottawatomie County’s unemployment rate is higher than Oklahoma’s, though the gap
has narrowed significantly in recent years.
Table 5 provides information on employment by industry for the county from
2001-2008. During this period, Pottawatomie County’s largest employers are state and
local government, retail trade, and health care and social assistance. Total employment
over this period increased, though slight job losses were observed in the following
industries: information, transportation and warehousing, wholesale trade,
manufacturing, and federal and state government. The greatest job growth occurred in
the government and government enterprises
(43.7 %) followed by the real estate and rental and leasing (37.5%).
Table 6 gives further analysis of the conditions in the county by using a location
quotient to determine a community's degree of self-sufficiency in a particular economic
sector. (Also see Figure 4.) The location quotient is used to identify exporting activity
and is calculated by dividing the percentage of those locally employed in a particular
sector by the percentage of those employed in the same sector nationwide.1

The location quotient can be used to interpret whether a county is self-sufficient,
is an importer, or is an exporter in a particular sector. A location quotient that is
approximately one (0.75-1.25) suggests self-sufficiency; a quotient less than 0.75
suggest that a county is an importer. If the location quotient is greater than 1.25, the
county likely exports products of that sector. The greater the location quotient, the more
significant that sector is to the local economy.
According to Table 6, and Figure 4, Pottawatomie County is likely an exporter in
farming, mining, utilities, educational services, accommodation and food services, and
state and local government sectors in 2008. The county is probably an importer in the
following sectors: forestry and fishing, mining, wholesale trade, transportation and
warehousing, finance and insurance, real estate and rental, arts and entertainment, and
federal civilian government. For clarification, (D) in Table 6 generally represents a
situation where the number of employers is so small that employment numbers cannot
be released without jeopardizing privacy constraints. They do not necessarily represent
zero activity.
